Speedy deletion nomination of PredictWind.com

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on PredictWind.com requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. —Largo Plazo (talk) 03:58, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In response to the messages you left temporarily on my talk page and the one you posted on the article's talk page: Wikipedia calls for articles to be on topics that meet the criteria laid out in its guidelines on notability, with more specific guidelines relating to websites. Articles that don't appear even to indicate particular significance for their topics can be deleted speedily. There were a couple of places where the article you wrote even seems somewhat promotional, though I wasn't sure it was enough so to recommend it for speedy deletion on that basis.

I ran a quick Google check to see if I could find evidence that the website has achieved notability sufficient to meet the guidelines. If I did, I would likely have added a reference or two to the article to establish that for anyone else who might review it. But it doesn't seem to have received much mention.

As for the importance or value of the technology, Wikipedia doesn't evaluate such things directly in assessing notability, but relies on external evidence that others have attached such note in independent reliable sources.

Let me know if you have any further questions! —Largo Plazo (talk) 04:54, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
